Paul, you are confusing the AH setting of the meter with the "discharge floor" setting. They are two very different functions. Check the manual. It does indeed work correctly if you set the discharge...

Tough words, but realistically, they are probably words of truth.

I think one of the best I saw was a small O'day in St Lucia. It really hit me because I used to own one for coastal cruising.
